It doesn't have stag handles but what could be more appropriate for a Livi Snake than snakewood ? Here is the SRP photo and below that my photo with a regular sized razor for comparison. :tu

My wish list is basically to get 7 diverse razors, then see if I can stick to 7 (ignoring the first one I bought). I'd like to have one from the UK, Germany, US and Sweden - but the most important thing is variety of size and grind.
Still haven't got any of the customs yet. Still dreaming.
I did get another Hawcroft, although it's going to take a ton of sanding to bring back to life. If anyone has one in good condition they'd like to sell, keep me in mind.
The Silverwing has fallen off my radar.
Well, I dream about many, and love many, but here is my real focus right now:
IF I am sadly disappointed tomorrow and the post office did indeed lose permanently my 8/8 wostenholm wedge with the diamond shaped tang then I am going to look for one of those, I really was in love with that.
A big greaves with the tang stamping between the two lines, heavy full wedge.
on chat a week or so back I was talking to butch and he said he'd be willing to do me a blade in the 9/8ish area with thick spine (after I get my 9/8 rodgers back I'm giong to seriously decide how I like the shave with it and if I wanted to go smaller or what. it's a full hollow but the spine is 5/16" thick). I think I'd like to try to work something out with him by end of year for a custom.
and never ever, definitely not a Livi.

PS
and I'd like to find a frameback like the one Alex did, wostenholm I think in black and white g10. I loved the blade but it was too high an entry price for me for a razor I had no idea of how it would shave for me. but I'd like to find a good deal on a frameback like that and give it a shot.
Well, taking Ray's challenge to look back:
1. got an MK31
2. got a C-Mon HF
3. no 8/8s plus chopper but I don't want one anymore - more into 11/16ths and the odd high quality big hollow grind, for example...........
other stuff I got
1. .........bahamakama - love this thing
2. 2 mini me wedges (Helje 23 and Welmeister 42) wicked cheap
3. Helje MK thing that looks like a frameback but isn't for wicked cheap
4. Goldege for fitty bucks - a what the f*ck bid gone good
No Robert Williams till the recession ends. Hope he's still doing this then!
Damn, Jimmy, that thing looks... EVIL. :)
Did the Mastro have to make a special box for it to fit in?
A lot of names come to mind for that snake (I'm sure you want to enter it in the SOTD this week of course):
1. The "Jimmy Connors" - he was a snake and needed two hands to weild the racket
2. or the "Chris Evert" - looks sweet, but a little nasty, and again required two hands.....
3. The "Stabler" for Kenny the Snake Stabler.....
